Social presence—the degree to which ‘the other’ in a communication appears to be a ‘real’ person—has captured the attention
of those dealing with learning in groups through computer-supported collaborative learning environments. The concept is important
because it affects participation and social interaction, both necessary for effective collaboration and knowledge construction.
This article reports on the construction and validation of a self-reporting (Dutch-language) Social Presence Scale to determine
perceived social presence in distributed learning groups using computer-supported collaborative learning environments. The
result is a one-dimensional scale consisting of five items with an internal consistency of .81. We used a nomological network
of similar constructs for further validation. The findings suggest that the Social Presence Scale has potential to be useful
as a measure for social presence. 相似文献

This study is designed to determine whether, and to what extent, the perceived importance of objectives of undergraduate practicals in the Natural Sciences is dependent upon the type of institute at which practicals are given. The two dimensions used in this research to discriminate between types of institutes are type of education offered (face‐to‐face versus correspondence) and type of programme offered (monodisciplinary versus interdisciplinary). For this reason, distance universities throughout the world (DUs) and more traditional, residential universities (RUs) in The Netherlands were compared. Special attention has been paid to the Open university of The Netherlands (OuN). The results show that RUs and DUs approach practicals in a very similar manner with both of them differing in a number of respects with the OuN. Implications of this research for the use of practicals in a curriculum in the Natural Sciences are presented. 相似文献

Developments in society and business, and related changes in higher education and lifelong learning, require educators and
educational designers or technologists to rethink education. Examples of such changes are the growing importance of achieving
complex learning, the integration of learning and work in education, and the need for improved flexibility with regard to
time, place, and individual needs. These changes cannot simply be responded to by adding technological solutions implemented
according to existing educational approaches. Instead, an integrated view of e-learning is necessary, characterized by the
combination of pedagogical, technical, social, and organizational factors. This two-part special issue elaborates on the different
characteristics of integrated e-learning, from design through future topics for research.

Authenticity is an important element of new modes of assessment. The problem is that what authentic assessment really is,
is unspecified. In this article, we first review the literature on authenticity of assessments, along with a five-dimensional
framework for designing authentic assessments with professional practice as the starting point. Then, we present the results
of a qualitative study to determine if the framework is complete, and what the relative importance of the five dimensions
is in the perceptions of students and teachers of a vocational college for nursing. We discuss implications for the framework,
along with important issues that need to be considered when designing authentic assessments. 相似文献

This article presents the findings from a teacher intervention in Dutch kindergartens aimed at improving teachers’ differentiation practices (DP) to better anticipate student differences. The intervention was designed to improve the match between student levels and curricular activities, in particular for high-ability students and consists of three components. A pretest–posttest cluster randomised design was used with three conditions: control (n = 34), pilot intervention (n = 32) and improved intervention (n = 34). Quantitative results demonstrate that the intervention fidelity was relatively high in the improved intervention. Correlations confirmed that teacher-reported DP were higher in schools where the intervention was more completely implemented. DP were enhanced in both intervention conditions, but showed greater improvement in the improved intervention. Qualitative data revealed process characteristics that reflect problems schools encounter with this intervention. Teachers can be supported in improving DP, but this requires school-wide intensive and long support. 相似文献

Having a well-founded insight into the characteristics of teachers inquiry-based attitude (IA) supports operationalising IA as a learning goal in teacher education (TE). The aim of this study is to refine the notion of IA from an ill-defined global concept into something with reliable and valid characteristics. To do so, data were gathered on three different occasions amongst three different cohorts of teachers who participated in a master's programme at a Dutch university for applied sciences. This process of exploration and reconceptualisation was performed in collaboration with teacher educators. The results indicate that, statistically, IA has an internal reflective dimension and an external knowledge-sourcing dimension. Both dimensions can also statistically be differentiated from the personality traits openness to ideas, openness to change and epistemic curiosity. The implications of these findings for TE, plus recommendations for future research, are addressed. 相似文献

This article discusses the inherent flaws in considering and using the epistemology of the natural sciences as equivalent to a pedagogic basis for teaching and learning in the natural sciences. It begins with a discussion of the difference between practising science and learning to practice science. It follows with a discussion and refutation of three commonly held motives for using practicals in science education. It concludes with the presentation of three new, better motives for their use. 相似文献

Collaboration between practitioners and researchers can increasingly be observed in research and development (R&D) projects in secondary schools. This article presents an analysis of cross-professional collaboration between teachers, school leaders and educational researchers and/or advisers as part of R&D projects in terms of three dimensions: reasons for collaboration, the division of roles and tasks, and the communication structure. Data were collected in interviews with participants from 12 Dutch projects, from documents and from meetings with participants. The results show that the parties involved can have the same reasons for cross-professional collaboration but that the external educational experts may also have additional objectives. Roles and tasks were divided in different ways, depending on who directs and guides the research and development, and whether teachers were involved as teacher researchers in the project. The communication structure appeared to be linked to the division of roles and tasks, but also to the number of participants in the project. The three dimensions proved to be valuable viewpoints to study cross-professional collaboration in R&D projects in Dutch secondary education. Furthermore, we distinguished four types of cross-professional collaboration in R&D projects. These types differ in the extent to which the school or the external party direct and guide the project: (a) School-directed collaboration; (b) School- and researcher-directed collaboration; (c) School- and adviser-directed collaboration; (d) Researcher-directed collaboration. Our findings can support participants to consciously choose a particular type of cross-professional collaboration that fits their purposes and specific situation. 相似文献
